after reading this,i find that the one who set up the taxi stand there either made a mistake or out of stupidity. the taxi stand is 3 seconds away from Wisma which is inside CBD,do you think a taxi driver will want to wait there during peak hour? I won't.

It happened to CK Tang, the authorities refused to allow them to put their parking entrance outside the CBD area. People who wanted to use Tangs parking had to pay $ to enter the CBD area.

btw,is CK Tang considered CBD area? I will put up $3 surcharge if I pick up passengers from Marriot hotel.
